[The Anus of Discontent]

Just messing around in the symbol creator for my new fortress, an expedition into the benign wilds to subjugate the merpeople, commercialize the unicorns and bring sunshine to my dwarf brethren! This is what I came up with!



Anyone else come up with anything funny?

Can't wait for the ability to randomly generate symbols!

One of my dorfs likes dragons. So I commissioned a statue of a dragon burning 7 dwarves.

"The Carnal Spike of Loving"
Is an image of "Captain" Fencedgold and "Fields" Utteroiled.
"Fields" Utteroiled is impaled on "Captain" Fencedgold.
Now I wanted to just name it 'the spike of loving' when I made the statues to place in the two lovers' rooms as sublimal message. But the RNG had managed to already put 'carnal' in front of it. It was too fitting to remove.

Also, my embark image usually is this:
"The Circle of Life"
is an image of an elf, purring maggots, and 7 dwarves.
The elf is dead. The purring maggots are devouring the elf. The 7 dwarves are laughing.

I like symbols that represent a dwarf's willingness to find some way to kill themselves. Currently,  "A dwarf, an oak tree, and an axe. The dwarf is hanging from the tree, the axe is mutilating the tree, the dwarf is laughing."

I once had a goblin civilization whose symbol was a glass of juice (masterwork added such things for kobolds to drink.)

I like to build statues of the deceased in the tombs of dead fort members. I haven't done this for pets in the current fort, since I atom smashed them all so there's nothing to bury (side note: I really wish there were an option to forbid migrants from bringing pets with them. I'll trade for or capture all the animals I want, thanks).

However, in a previous fort in which I merely arranged accidents for them ("who pastured all the pets outside during siege season?"), I built them mini-tombs to make up for it. The statue I commissioned for the cats? "This is a masterful gabbro statue of 'The Name of the Image', by Urist McMason. 'The Name of the Image' depicts one thousand cats and a dwarf. The cats are laughing. The dwarf is weeping'.

My go-to group name lately has been "The Just Stop". I customize the symbol to be two animals (usually cats, dragons, or unicorns) looking offended.

[StagnantSoul]

I had a symbol be a cat burning a dragon alive for a while.

[steel jackal]

mine is usually a jackal man slaughtering elves and laughing

I've always liked this one I designed for volcano embarks:
